Nutrition Services General Information

Diet Order

If you or your loved one is admitted to one of our facilities, a diet order is written by a prescribing practitioner such as a physician, Nurse Practitioner or Registered Dietitian. Our Nutrition Services team will ensure the food provided follows the written diet orders and avoids any identified food allergens. We will also accommodate food preferences to best of our ability. If you or your loved one has questions about the food or diet order please ask the nurse.

Menu

A Regional Menu is in place at all PMH sites. It is a 35 day cycle menu based on Eating Well with Canada's Food Guide and meets guidelines for standard, texture modified, therapeutic and gastrointestinal diets. The menu is planned by a team of Registered Dietitians and Nutrition Services Managers with input from staff and clients. The team welcomes feedback from clients and staff about suggestions for menu ideas as any time.

Food Safety

Nutrition Services has a comprehensive Quality Assurance Program to monitor and improve all aspects of our service. Our kitchens are inspected by Public Health Officers on a regular basis to ensure compliance with the Food and Food Handling Establishments Regulation under The Public Health Act.
